Ramon

Ramón is a hard working father who wants to support his four children. He’s been working with loans to make improvements to his home.

He’s been working in security for several years and has been using his salary to make repairs to his home little by little, and pay other expenses.

He will use the money from this new loan to finish building a wall that he started. This will close off a room he is building, but it will still need a roof. He will use the money to buy zinc metal sheeting, solder, and other materials. He is happy because every day gets better, thanks to this loan through Afodenic.

About Housing Loans

Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
